"I warned you. Drinking poison will slowly damage you. You've been very distracted lately and I can't even pretend to get angry." Aries pressed her lips into a thin. It was another day of her lesson in literature with Dexter in the study. "I'm sorry." She sighed, dropping her hand on her lap as she leaned back. "Marquess Vandran, can we skip today's lesson?" "And why should I agree?" his brow arched, noticing the gradual change of the meek Aries into something more... courageous. Not that she would…

Aries's eyes crossed when she opened them, backing away only to be stilled by him. "Morning." She froze, watching his long lashes flutter open, wide-eyed. "Surprise?" 'Didn't he say he will be busy for the next three days or so?' that question instantly rose in her head, blinking to fix her crossed eyes. "I missed you," he confessed under his breath, pulling her closer whilst closing his eyes. "Finished it early." "..." Her breathing slowed down, blinking blankly as she let her brain buffer. Aries…

Explicit usage of words written in delicate penmanship. Just like Abel, whose beauty was out of this world with a dark soul the complete opposite of his beautiful shell. Aries felt like she could hear his voice while reading his ridiculous letter. "There's no doubt he's the sender of these letters," she murmured, peeling her eyes away from the letter to the poor crow. It had been flying back and forth to deliver unimportant memoranda. Aries raised her hand, extending it to pat its head cautiously. "I…

"Do you think I am joking?" Aries and Abel stared at each other in silence. The gears in her head turned at an unimaginable speed, thinking if this was a trap. She understood his capricious mood, but this was no joking matter, nor it was a topic they could take so lightly. "That's strange," he spoke after some time of silence, planting a thumb on her chin. "Others would surely rejoice if I offered their daughter this title, but you... don't want it? Was there anything you'd want from me aside from not…

It had been a week since Aries started taking a little amount of poison daily. Even so, she still hadn't gotten used to the strong bitter taste of Abel's tea. Yes. He still send the same teacup he had used instead of transferring it to another cup. It has also been a week since Abel kept dragging her wherever he was. After her lesson, Conan would fetch her to the bustling emperor's palace. Today was no different. Aries was sitting on the same settee with Abel inside the emperor's office. With his arms…

Perhaps it was because she was getting used to Abel that she could relax around him for a bit. Aries stayed up with him almost all night. But she still fell asleep before dawn. Still, the lack of sleep and sudden change of her routine caused her to have a slight headache and feel sleepy. Hence, she was a bit distracted during her lesson with Dexter. "We'll take a recess." Aries raised her head at the man across from her. "I called for tea. You didn't notice since it seems your mind is drifting…

Today was the longest time Aries got to spend time with Abel. After he came into the study and poisoned her, Abel didn't leave. They dined together, bathe together, and now, he was combing her hair. She didn't understand it. Why wouldn't he leave her alone? Didn't he have enough fun already? These types of questions kept hovering over her head while he was combing her hair. Her eyes lifted, gazing at him, who was standing behind her. "I like your hair." Abel broke his silence, combing her hair…
-
Abel didn't apologize, but Aries took his action of not retaliating or killing her as one. Eating inside her room, she glanced up at him, who was eating across from her. 'I feel like I won a lottery,' she thought. Considering she spewed all the things she had always wanted to say and was still alive. 'Sir Conan's advice was helpful. Although, I wonder if he heard about Abel seeing me earlier today... I guess the news came in late.' Noticing her gaze, Abel paused and lifted his eyes up. But the second he…
-
When Aries opened her eyes, Abel's lower face was the first she saw. She carefully closed her eyes once again, breathing out. She could still feel a slight headache. So, she wanted to pretend to be asleep since she wasn't ready to lose her brain cells talking to him. 'He made me drink poison.' She thought, not even surprised at this point. 'But... he said he drank it. If that paltry amount almost killed me, why was he alive? Whoever made that poison underestimate this lunatic. Weeds never…

"Oh, Aries~" Aries jumped as soon as Abel kicked the door open. She slowly raised her pair of cautious eyes to the door, pausing from arranging the books she would take and leave behind the study. There, by the door, the devious smirk on Abel dominated his face as soon as he met her eyes. He strutted in, raising the documents in his hand while holding a cup in the other. "My darling, I cannot take you out of my head. So I thought we should study together!" he intoned as if it was something to rejoice…
